Engine Swap?
Alright ill admit im kind of dumb when it comes to imports, i used to only tool around with chevy's and fords, but i recently bought a 95 ex and it came with the D16Y8 motor which after some research found out it should have had the Z6 motor. I was wondering about what to swap thats going to be the best for not alot of money i was thinking of a B16 with dual overhead Cam bit i was told that maybe a B18 with a B16 top end with also work out very well. What do you guys think for someone who doesnt know alot of info on hondas

B18b's go around 1k for the swap but it has no vtec, b16's are pretty good but there is not as much tourqe as a B18c1 but are cheaper if your buying from an actual website. I would look into LS/Vtec more if you plan on doing it. If not done right, then it wont be reliable as just a swap. I went with the B16, pretty nice price for the swap. It really all depends on how much you want to spend. If your super rich then the B18c5 would be an awsome swap
